My husband is a terrorist!
In an article on CNN, the very first paragraph reads:

"Al Qaeda Inc. might suffer some initial setbacks from Osama bin Laden's death, but so did Apple Inc. when shares dropped over rumors of Steve Jobs' illness. But it did not take long to realize that Jobs has established a highly functional corporation, and the shares bounced back."

My husband works for Apple, Inc. And since, according to CNN, they are identical to Al Qaeda, I guess my husband is a terrorist. Who'd a' thunk it!???

The article continues to compare the two organizations, but never makes the following distinction:

Osama bin Laden FUNDED Al Qaeda with his own money. Steve Jobs did no such thing, and quite the opposite. He made money FROM the organization.

CNN = Idiots

1. Why do so many people not understand a metaphor?
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Can I do that without somebody pretending that I said thou art exactly like unto a summer's day?
